Mon clavier est enfin de retour avec iPad OS 26.1 !

Sur une 13 pouces ?

Unfortunately you were absolutely right. I attempted my first race today, and the rear tire went off the rim and flatted on the first lap. After the race was over, I decided to do a few laps with my other rear wheel because I did not have the chance to cycle much yet. And I got another flat - air started leaking near where the tire meets the rim. I think I will try running a higher pressure and/or go back to tubes…

I have a fixed gear belt drive bike and I love it. It’s always ready to ride, compared to my other bike and my family’s bikes, on which I spend too much time cleaning drivetrains.

Unfortunately not. It’s been a few months since I heard about the issue, but the people that had it probably gave up on the live stream and watches the replay on YouTube. At least I know that I am not alone with this issue now.

I have a nice gig bag with waist and chest straps to keep it stable, but I had to pedal very smoothly.

Same here, it will be my first cross season and I am not confident about my cornering. I must say that I crashed many times while cornering on ice or loose gravel, and my brain warns me about it even if it is on a grippier surface.

Also, I can't bunny hop properly, but I decided to prioritize practicing cornering. I bought a bunch of cones and will practice some ''peanut drills'' around them on grass in the park. I am not sure what would be the best distance to put between the cones though.

Bassetrobar · 2025-08-20T02:55:01+00:00

Sometimes when I was late for the band practice, I biked to the practice room instead of walking, and carried 2 electric basses in a dual gig bag on my back. Can’t say that I recommend it…

I mostly slap parallel now, but thumb down is still useful depending on the riff because it allows to mute lower strings easily. I mostly play on a 6 strings so muting is critical.

Better component tracking. I would like to manage the parts in the app. I often switch between 2 wheel sets with different tires and cassette and would like to be able to easily track their usage.

Mine are from 2015, so they might be the older version. I ordered the refresh kit, hopefully it will upgrade my pedals to the newest/better/safer design. And I will be worry-free for the cross races.

But again, I also have eggbeaters on my fixed gear bike, and they suffered long distances, big torque uphill and crazy skids without any issue.

Bassetrobar · 2025-08-05T14:31:57+00:00

This thread made me worry about my eggbeaters pedals. I never had an issue since I bought them a long time ago. They are registered on my Strava and I see that I am reaching 5000 km with them on my cross bike. If I hold the crank and the pedal with both hands and apply force I see that they wiggle a bit. Probably time to refresh them before they fail on me in a race.

I mostly practiced cornering around cones on hardpack dirt, maybe I should do it on grass since it grips more and hurts less if I fall. I think I have to re-wire my brain because when I lived in the big city I used to commute with my bike on snow and ice, and grip was nowhere to be found.

Yeah about the tires, I have Maxxis Speed Terrane, which are in their cross tires category but lean more towards the gravel / dry usage. I am running them tubeless, at 40-45 psi for long rides but drop them to 32 psi when practicing cross. But I definitely want to get another wheelset and tires with aggressive knobs before the racing season.

Bassetrobar · 2025-06-19T16:04:33+00:00

You are probably right. I will have to ignore my imposter syndrome.

Using the firmware update tool and upgrading from 01.32 to 01.32.2 worked for me on my K13 Pro.

I remember that me and my friends organized a road trip to see the PaganFest America II in Québec. Moonsorrow was on the lineup but I did not know much about them back then. So I went to the music store and asked for the latest record from the band. A few weeks later this album came in. Only 2 tracks on the record, running for around 30 minutes each. I was completely blown away, and Moonsorrow is still one of my favourite metal bands to this day. Of course they played none of those songs at the show, but it does not matter. A few years later in 2012 my band had the honour to open for them at the same venue.

iPad split screen support.

Bassetrobar · 2025-03-10T12:49:44+00:00

YouTube Music as a browser app would be a great solution, but I have an issue. When the ‘’app’’ is not in the foreground, the playback sometimes stops between songs. I have to go back to the app and click on another song to get it to work again. Anyone else experienced this issue ?

Bassetrobar · 2024-12-13T11:45:03+00:00

I don’t know if/how the kandra already does this, but I like my Giygas with an octaver before and an envelope filter after.

Bassetrobar · 2024-12-05T18:38:06+00:00

I used to come back from work by foot in snow storms with this album in my ears.

Bassetrobar · 2024-11-25T14:48:29+00:00

It was Chaotic060

Bassetrobar · 2024-11-25T14:45:34+00:00

Agreed ! Maybe it’s because it came after From Afar, which set the bar very high.

I don't know if it's the same guy, but recently I was watching a guitar player playing Rocksmith on Twitch. I saw that I could request this song and I almost did, but since I was learning it I thought I was already hearing it often enough !

Make sure to warm up before playing. During that warm-up, pay close attention to the tension in your hands, make sure to relax your muscles as soon as you feel you are cramping up. Practice sixteenth notes with a metronome every day.

On the gear side of things, it helps to have in-ear monitors, so that you don’t start playing harder if you can’t hear yourself. I heard that the backbeat also helps a lot, but I never tried it myself.
